The cab driver stated that Julie-Ann slapped Gary across the cheek and he returned the abuse by hitting her with a “left hook, ” according to the prosecutor. Gary admitted he pushed his wife hard with his left hand, but denied using a hook.

After the attack – which occurred in front of a terrified taxi driver – left Julie-Ann, 47, unconscious as she fell to the ground. She was taken to the hospital for treatment following the punch but was released soon after.

After seeing his wife laying on the ground unconscious, Kate Middleton’s uncle allegedly began crying and trying to help her get back up. The taxi driver reportedly challenged Gary, 52, after witnessing the attack, but he became very aggressive.

Gary, who is worth almost $40 million, attended both Kate, 35, and sister Pippa’s weddings. He is their mother’s younger brother and a close family member to the Duchess. This Tuesday, he admitted one charge of assault by beating.
